[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not the PP, but I do find that even in the real working world that your undergraduate degree can make a difference many years out.  I still have relationships from my very top STEM school and I never hesitate to contact old study friends, even professionally.  And then outside of the work world, it's wonderful to know so many people who are big contributors in life.  My old roommates are doing some amazing things in their respective fields and I'm glad to call them my friends.

There is nothing wrong with going for the cheaper option - no doubt.  And you're right, much of what you do in your career is NOT tied to your degree.  But it's not like they are the exact same experience.  It's up to each family to decide what's important to them.

Name-dropping, of course, is important to yours.
Regarding staying in contact with college friends - you sound as though it is specific to top schools. News flash - people make friends everywhere. [/quote]

+1   And people from all sorts of schools do amazing things in their respective fields.  And I have friends who haven't done anything amazing professionally but are incredible people.  [/quote]
